I live in Peterborough. Walton to be precise and it is a pretty good area although close to Paston which isn't as bad as it used to be. Orton Goldhay is a pretty big area and some of it is good and some bad. On £110k I wouldn't consider buying a house in Orton. Werrington/Walton are good areas and houses can be had on your budget. The roads round here are pretty good, so if you were to choose a location just outside P'boro then you would be ok. However, properties in local villages are very expensive. Crowland which is about a 15 minute drive from the centre might be a good choice.
